Shaka has been having nightmares lately, and every time he wakes up, he feels bad, which directly affects his appetite and makes him lose a lot of weight. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Hey, Shaka, won't you eat some?" Bull couldn't help but ask when he saw Shhaka in a daze again.

"I don't want to eat ......" Shaka lay on his stomach coyly, and the dream scene flashed in his mind from time to time, making him very uncomfortable. Glancing at the bowl in front of him, he had no desire to eat.

After a while, he pushed the bowl, "Bul, you can eat." ”

Bull quickly finished his portion, not even glancing at the bowl that Shaka had pushed over, "You'd better eat some." ”

Xiaka just shook his head, didn't say anything more, and lay there again, startling.

Seeing this, Bull sighed helplessly and said no more.

Shaka lay there, feeling hunger in his belly, but not the slightest desire to eat, and gradually, a feeling of weakness consumed his consciousness, and he just lay there, falling into the nightmare he had feared again.

Miu looked at the scenery outside the car window in amazement, and asked Wu Chu, "How do you know the way?" ”

"I'll remember it since the last time I was here." Wu Chu drove the car and said with a smile.

"Really? When did you have such a good memory? It's not like it used to be like before? Glancing at him suspiciously, Miu muttered.

"Hey, hey! I hear you! ”

Soon, they came to their destination, the door of Chen Xia's pet clinic.

After Wu Chu parked the car, he looked at Mi Wu and pointed to her two tails, "Are you going to use this to go in?" ”

Miu turned his head, looked at his extra white tail, and thought for a moment, "That's right...... So what to do? ”

"Humanoid?" Wu Chu made a suggestion.

"I didn't bring any clothes." Miu vetoed the suggestion.

"Why don't you wait in the car and I'll take those two cats out?"

"Then you have to bring it out, are you a fool or a blind person when Chen Xia is you?"

After a while, Miu patted the leather cushion, "Forget it, what are you afraid of, just go in like this." ”

So, Wu Chu took Mi Wu and walked into the pet clinic.

"Welcome, is there anything you can help with?" As soon as she pushed open the door, Chen Xia, who was sitting at the front desk, habitually spoke, and then after seeing that it was Wu Chu, she greeted with a smile: "Oh, it's Miu's master, is Miu okay lately?" ”

Wu Chu nodded to Chen Xia with a smile in response, "Mi Wu has been doing very well recently, I just want to bring her here for a routine checkup." ”

"No, what the hell is a routine check!" Miu stayed in his arms, and when he heard this, he unceremoniously stretched out his paw and scratched his chest.

Wu Chu's face changed, but then he returned to his nonchalant expression.

Chen Xia didn't notice the change in his expression, and after hearing his words, he just nodded, "Routine check, okay, I'll register." ”

Soon, after the registration was completed, she took Wu Chu and Mi Wu into a room with some conventional instruments.

"So, let's take a weight first." Chen Xia opened the electronic scale and said with a smile at Wu Chu. Wu Chu nodded when he heard this, and handed her over despite the struggle of Mi Wu in his arms.

The moment he saw Miu's tail, the expression on Chen Xia's face was a little surprised, but he quickly recovered, as if he was unaware of Miu's tail, and took her casually.

And so the routine inspection ended, in an eerie atmosphere.

"Miu is in good health and there are no problems." Chen Xia said as he handed the completed form to Wu Chu.

Wu Chu took the form, touched Miwu's head, put her on the ground, and said softly: "After the inspection, you can go play by yourself." ”

Miu had goosebumps from his tone, but it was just what she wanted, and she had long wanted to escape from this oppressive atmosphere.

Seeing Mi Wu running out of the room without looking back, Wu Chu sat back on the chair and looked at Chen Xia with interest.

Chen Xia was also looking at him.

"Then, it's time for us to have a good talk," Wu Chu said with a smile, but his tone was not friendly, "Isn't it?" Chen Xia. ”

"It's time to talk, Baichu." Chen Xia raised his eyebrows, still with that gentle and lovely smile on his face.

――――――――

Miu, who had already run out of the room, had no idea that there was a conversation taking place in that small room. She sniffed the air and followed one of the familiar scents to another room.

Jumping lightly and grabbing the doorknob, Miu, who had grown up a lot, opened the door with a little bit of effort.

The moment she walked in, Miu was surrounded by familiar feelings.

Many cats are scurrying around the room, but more often they stay in their own small area to take a nap and watch the noisy cats coldly.

Miu glanced around and easily spotted Boole and Shaka.

As the first sister in the cat world, Bull's position must be the most comfortable, but in the same way, her position is also very conspicuous, and Miu can see her at a glance.

"Boole!" Miu cheered and ran towards her.

Hearing the voice calling out to her, Bull came back to his senses, turned his head, and saw Miu rushing towards her, instinctively slapping out a paw, but Miu dodged it.

"You...... Who are you? ”

Hearing Bull's question, Miu stumbled, "Hey...... Bull, it's me, Miu. ”

"You're Miu?" Bull glanced at Miu suspiciously, and Bull felt familiar, so he stepped forward and sniffed her, "Hmm...... The taste is indeed similar to Miu, but there are still differences. ”

"I'm really Miu, you remember, I had a foot injury before." Miu lifted her wounded, but strangely healed hind legs, and said to Bull.

"Are you really Miu?" When Bull saw her movements, he was skeptical, "The little girl has grown up." ”

"After all, we've been separated for months." happily circled around Bull twice, Miu leaned on Bull's body as before, "I came this time to hear your message, your words have been passed on for several months before they reach me, it's so unreliable!" ”

As she spoke, she grumbled again.

Hearing Miu's complaint, Bull bared his teeth, "I don't want to, and I can't find you, so I can only ask the younger brothers to help me pass the word." ”

"Ahh

After the two cats who hadn't seen each other for a long time had been fighting for a while, Miu felt a little strange: "Huh? What happened to that guy in Sciaka? Why didn't you see him? ”

Hearing her question, Bull paused, then stretched out his paw and pointed to the corner: "Xiaka is there, he has been in a bad state lately......"

"Huh? What happened to him? What happened? Miu frowned at Bull's words.

"I don't know, he won't say anything when I ask him, you are all like my children, and I feel very distressed to see him like this." Bull sighed, "Why don't you enlighten him for me?" You're a very important presence to him. ”

"Yes...... Is that so? Stunned, hearing Bull's last words, Miu felt a little soft in his heart for some reason, "...... I'll take a look. ”

She stood up and walked towards Sciaka.

――――――――

No...... Don't come here......

Shaka stared in horror at the endless darkness around him, he shouted in terror and fled in all directions.

But there is no escape, and the darkness is like a maggot on the tarsal bones, like a shadow.

Why...... Why!

He was afraid, he was desperate, and his already hoarse voice was full of reluctance and resentment.

No one responded to him, and darkness swarmed up, engulfing his thin body.

――――――――

"Wow!!"

Shaka woke up and opened his eyes suddenly, his heart beating violently, making his already exhausted brain burst like an inflated balloon.

"Are you awake?" Miu lay beside him, looking at his painful appearance, feeling a little unbearable.

"Uh-huh......!?" There was a weak response, and Xiaka's chaotic consciousness reacted, this familiar voice, wasn't it the cat he missed?

"Miu......!?" Sciaka's voice was full of surprise.

"Well, it's me." Miu sighed, stretched out his paws, and gently touched Shaka's head.

Shaka's emaciated body struggled and rose from the ground, and he looked at Miu, speechless.

“…… I am back. After a long silence, Miu hugged Shaka and rubbed his neck.

"Too ...... That's great. Shaka's body trembled, and then, as if out of strength, collapsed into Miu's arms.

Miu combed his hair, and he didn't gag like before, just lying quietly in Miu's arms, enjoying a rare moment of relaxation.

"You...... Let's have a bite to eat. After combing his hair, Miu let go of Shaka and pushed his bowl that was still full of cat food in front of him.

"Hmm......" Sciaka didn't refuse, he took small bites, chewing the food in the bowl and swallowing them.

Seeing that Shaka was finally willing to eat, Bull, who was watching them from afar, was also relieved. Seeing Miu looking at her, she nodded to Miu.

After comforting Shaka and letting him rest well, Miu was just about to stand up when he was stopped by Shaka, who stretched out his paws and hugged her legs, his eyes full of pleading: "Miu...... Yes...... Stay with me? ”

"......" looked at Xiaka's eyes, Miu couldn't resist refusing, and lay down next to him again, "Okay." ”

"For so long...... I ...... every day I will dream about things related to you......" Xiaka leaned against Miu, his mouth like a dream, and muttered in a low voice, "Every time...... It all scared me...... I don't know if it's true......"

"Later, as long as I close my eyes...... I'll see...... Those horrible things......"

"I'm about to lose the difference between reality and dreams......"

"But...... But ......"

"Good thing you're here......"

"That's great...... Great......"

Listening to his words, Mi Wu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know what it was like.

Quietly wiping away the moisture from the corners of his eyes, Miu suddenly lowered his head, hugged Shaka, and said softly, "Thank you...... Sciaccia. ”
